I have finally found this : https://issues.jasig.org/browse/CASC-182.

I have tried setting redirectAfterValidation to false, and it did break 
the loop.
However, the remoteUser attribute is now unavailable 
(httpRequest.getRemoteUser() returns null) in the request at the IdP. I 
don't get why, since HttpServletRequestWrapperFilter and 
AssertionThreadLocalFilter should still be called.

I feel that my original idea to remove the assertion from the session 
before getting to the CAS client filters is simpler, and saves some 
configuration burden.
